Patrik Laine was seen at the Montreal airport, claims journalist Stu Cowan
Journalist Stu Cowan, who covers the Montreal Canadiens, has just mentioned some very interesting information.
As you know, there have been many rumors linking Patrik Laine to the Canadiens. Now, the journalist from the Montreal Gazette has added another layer to these speculations.
We know that Patrik Laine has requested a trade, we know that the Blue Jackets are trying to trade him, and we know that Kent Hughes is looking for a young top-six forward.
That being said, here's what Stu Cowan just mentioned via Tony Marinaro's podcast.
Patrik Laine spotted at the Montreal airport
Here is the exact transcription from my colleague Keven Mawn.
Is there a possibility that he could come here? YES! The Canadiens need players who can score, and Laine can do that. But I'm not sure if he would fit well in the team's chemistry in the locker room. We saw the example with Dubois in Los Angeles. We'll see, but he (Laine) was seen at the Montreal airport.»

He believes that Laine could be a target of interest for Kent Hughes.
It's a story to follow, and we know that many observers are already talking about it, but Stu Cowan's statement was definitely worth mentioning.
If you want our opinion, we believe that Kent Hughes will acquire Laine only if Columbus agrees to take Christian Dvorak in the trade.
We believe that Kent Hughes has some interest, but he doesn't absolutely want to acquire him.
